  • Fun with horse girls

    This is a great podcast to get a glimpse of everything from 5* horses to adult ammies. As a horseless adult amateur, I love hearing about all the adventures and horse exploits. Always something relevant

  • Love it!

    Every month I look forward to this podcast. I wish it was weekly! I’m a western rider (shout out to Ellie) and still a fairly new rider and horse owner but always learn so much. All 3 are so informative and fun. Love the drink recipes, rose & thorn, various guests and product reviews. I have bought several products I’ve heard about on this show!
